Recent Dark Pattern Reviews

Gambling / Loot Boxes reported on Feb 28, 2024
Literally gambling events
Optimism and Frequency Biases reported on Feb 28, 2024
There are patterns that the “random” rewards aren’t so random. A lucky purchase with a % chance to get a reward. Some days all the same. Some days better. It does not seem random
Competition reported on Feb 28, 2024
In multiple ways, every day
Fear of Missing Out reported on Feb 28, 2024
Fear of falling behind
Aesthetic Manipulations reported on Feb 28, 2024
Candy and cute elements, lottery wins, arcade games
Anchoring Tricks reported on Feb 28, 2024
Yes and then immediately shows a more expensive one after with more items. 19.99, 49.99, 99.99
Waste Aversion reported on Feb 28, 2024
While you can wait to increase levels/inventory level for free you fall behind if you do this. A need to pay to increase inventory level to advance in the game
Illusion of Control reported on Feb 28, 2024
Grouped by alliances on our own server and in server groups
Pay Wall reported on Feb 28, 2024
Yes because if you don’t buy a car or gear or a hero, you will be very weak compared to other players. You “have” to have this item to be competitive and have value
Encourages Anti-Social Behavior reported on Feb 28, 2024
Very political with other alliances. You can lie or have spies in those alliances to backstab and gain advantages
